Rebecca Bullock, a 31-year-old British pub manager, died after suffering multiple stab wounds in what is believed to have been an unprovoked attack at a train station in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria, Germany. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, and Bullock later succumbed to her injuries in a hospital.
German police arrested a 27-year-old man with no fixed address at the scene. He has since been detained in a psychiatric hospital on suspicion of murder as investigations continue.
Bullock, known to friends and family as Becca, was reportedly on her way to Austria to attend a funeral for a friend when the attack took place. She had arrived in Germany just hours before the incident. The 31-year-old managed the White Swan pub in Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, where floral tributes have been left outside the establishment, which has remained closed since news of her death emerged.
Pub landlords described Bullock as "much-loved" and "a true professional in hospitality with grace and dignity." Social media tributes highlighted her caring nature, noting that she would go out of her way for others and had helped organize charity events at the pub.
Locals described Bullock as a "breath of fresh air" at the pub, known for her pleasant and friendly demeanor. She was a member of the Thame Runners and had completed the 2022 London Marathon for the Spinal Injuries Association. Her social media profiles also indicated she was an avid horsewoman, dog lover, and sports enthusiast.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed they are supporting Bullock's family and are in contact with German authorities.
